Quetico has a wide variety of wildlife. This gallery has photos of a few of the creatures often seen in the park.

A bald eagle on a rock on the way up to Ranger Bay on Basswood Lake. Someone may have left fish guts here or it is just enjoying a beautiful October afternoon.

Loon swimming with minnow in its beak on French Lake.

A beaver carrying mud to fortify and strengthen the dam.

A beaver lodge and its food cache at freeze-up. This cache of food must feed the occupants of the lodge until ice-out in the spring.

The contrast between the somber, grey winter morning and the activity beneath the ice is captured in this combination photo/painting. Painting of activity under the ice and in the lodge by Jennifer Garrett, photo by Marie Nelson.

A whiskey jack hoping for food perches on a jack pine at the edge of a campsite.

Spruce hen in a tree on a September morning in the northern part of the park.
